The partner of US influencer Ashly Robinson, who died last week while on holiday with him on the Tanzanian islands of Zanzibar, has had his passport "withheld", the local police said in a statement.

Joe McCann, 45, is understood to be speaking to police as a witness. No arrests have been made and the police had previously told local media that McCann was not suspected of wrongdoing.

Zanzibar's police had earlier told the BBC that Robinson, 31, known online as Ashlee Jenae, had attempted to take her own life. McCann has not made any public statement on the matter.

In a US interview, Robinson's parents said her death in Tanzania "doesn't make any sense" and were seeking answers.
